In the News: IPPS final rule continues to focus on quality
Quality. It’s been CMS’ mantra over the past few years.
Traditionally, the inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) final rule’s release marked changes in MS-DRG assignment, creation of new ICD codes, and payment and regulatory measures.
Such items essentially vanished of late due to the code change freeze associated with ICD- 10-CM/PCS implementation delays. That left the fiscal year (FY) 2016 IPPS open to include elements related to CMS’ recent value- over-volume mission, adding numerous measures to the various programs therein.
